Considering democrats held primaries in 2016, 2020 and 2024 and they lined up with what polls where saying what would it take for you to believe that the primaries are honest?
Actually having one would be a start.
They actually had two in 2024.
Uh huh.
I get it after Bernie lost in 2016 a bunch of people lost faith in the system and the DNC using the easy excuse of 'it's our primary we can cry if we want to' was real easy for right-wing and foreign propaganda to bait a hook with and fishing was real good for them.
I get that you want to dismiss everything to your left as being all the way to your right so you can keep ignoring the left and moving to the right until you have become the second republican party.
I'm happy being a liberal I don't think there has to be a second republican party.
Then quit acting like you do.
I don't.
Your insistence on ignoring everything to your left on the spurious grounds that it must be some sort of psyop if it disagrees with you from the left is exactly that and nothing else.
Saying I do this isn't going to make it true.
You started this conversation with the assumption that every criticism of the center by progressives is a psyop:
Yeah you are right and the people agreed with it.
The winner has to be the one Mr. Crab likes the most. That person will also go on to win the general election easily, because what Mr. Crab likes is proven to be widely popular.
